BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention.

1 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a map generation system provided in the presently filed embodiment, which system may include a server 101, a portable terminal 102 and a wireless device 103;

Here, the radio apparatus 103 is disposed on each one of the article shelves, and each radio apparatus 103 corresponds to one article;

It should be noted that only one wireless device is shown in FIG. 1 as an example. Those of ordinary skill in the art should be aware that a plurality of wireless devices must be included since there are many items in an indoor place such as shopping malls, supermarkets, warehouses, etc., and each item must correspond to one wireless device I can understand it.

In practical applications, the merchandise shelves typically consist of multi-layered frames, and a plurality of merchandise shelves may be arranged together. The frame on each layer is for placing the article. As shown in FIG. 2A, this is a kind of arrangement scheme of a wireless device in a product display stand, in which, in FIG. 2A, five article display shelves are included, and each article display stand is composed of five- Specifically, it is disposed on the frame 22 of each floor of each commodity shelf 21.

The portable terminal 102 is for code scanning each article in the article display rack and sending code scan information to the server 101.

The server 101 sets, by the code scan information, the position of the wireless device 103 corresponding to one code scanned article as the article position of the article; And to generate a navigation map based on the article position of each article.

Here, since the portable terminal code-scans every single article in the article display rack specifically identifies the article information code on the article, the code scan information may include at least an article information code. The article information code may be a one-dimensional bar code, a two-dimensional bar code, or the like, and may be a one-dimensional bar code on the outer surface of the article, for example, to indicate the marking code of the article.

In an actual application, in order to make it convenient for the user to browse the article related information such as article search and name, price, etc., the article shelf usually has one label attached to each article, Related information of the article. For example, in a shopping place such as a supermarket or a shopping mall, a label is a price label, and each article is immediately a product, and a price label is for displaying information related to articles such as the name of the article and the price.

Thus, in another embodiment, each wireless device may correspond to one article and one label.

Here, the label may be a paper label or an electronic label. The electronic label is an electronic display device that is disposed on a product shelf and replaces an existing paper label. The electronic label can display product related information such as the price of the article, the information code, the trademark, and the inventory, and can modify the article related information.

At a shopping location, the electronic label is the Electronic Shelf Label System (ESL).

When the label is an electronic label, the radio device corresponding to the electronic label may be integrated into the electronic label to form an integrated device.

FIG. 2B is a diagram showing another arrangement of the wireless device in the article display stand, wherein the distinguishing point between FIG. 2B and FIG. 2A is that one wireless device corresponds to one label according to FIG. 2B. When the label is an electronic label, the electronic label and the radio can be placed in a fixed position on the shelf of the article, and the article is placed in the corresponding electronic label and radio.

When the label is an electronic label, the article may be bound to an electronic label. Each label is also provided with a label information code such as a one-dimensional bar code or a two-dimensional bar code for marking the label.

When the article and the label are not bound, the portable terminal may code-scan one article in the article display rack and code-scan a label corresponding to the article, so that the code scan information The server may search for the article related information such as the article name and / or the article price according to the article information code in the code scan information, or may search for a label corresponding to the label information code The server causes the label to display the article related information of the corresponding article and the server saves the correspondence relationship between the article information code and the label information code and binds the article and the electronic label.

When the article and the label are bound, that is, when the correspondence relationship between the article information code and the label information code is stored in the server, in another embodiment, the portable terminal displays the label corresponding to each article in the article display shelf Code scan information, and sends code scan information to the server. Thereby, the server can determine the corresponding article first by the label information code in the code scan information, and further determine the wireless device corresponding to the article.

The server can acquire the article related information of each article by code scan information so that the server can display at least a part of article related information of each article in the generated navigation map, An article name, and the like.

Here, the wireless device 103 may be a device that transmits a wireless signal and / or receives a wireless signal, or may be a device using a technology such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, infrared, ultra-wideband, RFID, ZigBee, In practical applications, the wireless device may be specifically a low power consumption Bluetooth device, and the wireless signal is a Beacon signal.

The wireless device 103 may be a device having an integrated main unit, and may receive a wireless signal or send a wireless signal, and may also include a main device and a sub device, And the sub-device can send a radio signal.

The portable terminal 102 can send a wireless signal to the wireless device 103 and / or receive the wireless signal sent by the wireless device 103. [ In practical applications, the portable terminal may be a portable mobile device such as a mobile phone.

A server can be composed of one or a plurality of servers.

In this embodiment, one wireless device corresponds to one article, and the portable terminal scans the article by the code. The server can determine the wireless device corresponding to the code-scanned article by the code scan information, The position of the wireless device corresponding to the code scanned article can be set as the article position of the article. And to generate a navigation map based on the article position of each article. The map generation system of the present embodiment implements automatic generation of navigation maps, thereby improving accuracy of navigation guidance without requiring artificial drawing.

Here, there are various implementable methods for the server to determine the wireless device corresponding to the code-scanned article by the code scan information.

In an implementable manner, in the article shelf, each radio corresponds to one article and one label;

The portable terminal code-scans every single item in the article display rack, and simultaneously codes the label corresponding to the article. The code scan information includes an article information code and a label information code.

The server makes the position of the radio device corresponding to the code-scanned article as the article position of the article by the code scan information,

Find correspondences between different labels and different wireless devices by the code scan information; The position of the wireless device corresponding to the label of the code-scanned article may be the article position of the article.

The correspondence between different labels and different wireless devices can be pre-set in the server.

When the label is an electronic label, the radio device corresponding to the electronic label is an integrated device which can be integrated into the electronic label. At this time, every single wireless device can upload the correspondence relationship between the electronic label and the server, and specifically, the label information code of the device label and the electronic label of the wireless device are uploaded. This allows the server to preserve the correspondence between every single radio and electronic label. Here, the correspondence relationship between each radio device and the electronic label includes the label of each radio device and the corresponding label information code.

This makes it possible to search for the correspondence relationship between different labels and different wireless devices and establish correspondence relationships between articles, labels, and wireless devices, thereby making it possible to search for corresponding device markers by the label information codes in the code scan information, The position of the wireless device corresponding to the device mark is the position of the article corresponding to the article information code.

In yet another possible implementation, each device may be equipped with a device information code; The device information code may be a one-dimensional bar code, a two-dimensional bar code, a three-dimensional bar code, or the like, and may be installed in a case of the wireless device.

Wherein the portable terminal is for code scanning each article in the article shelf and for performing a code scan on a wireless device corresponding to the article; The code scan information may further include the device information code;

According to the code scan information, the position of the wireless device corresponding to the code-scanned article is set as the article position of the article. Specifically,

The position of the wireless device corresponding to the device information code may be determined as the article position of the code-scanned article, based on the device information code in the code scan information.

The article scanned by the code can be determined by the article information code or the label information code in the code scan information.

In another embodiment, the article shelf is typically composed of a multi-layer frame, and the plurality of article shelves are arranged together to form the article display stand area and the article display stand passage area.

The wireless device may be located in a frame on every floor of the article display stand, and the server may determine the location of the article display stand and the frame position in the article display stand, depending on the location of the wireless device.

The wireless device can be arranged according to the arrangement rule in every frame in the article display rack so that the server can determine the frame position and the article display stand position by the arrangement rule and the position of the wireless device.

In this embodiment, the arrangement rule is to place a plurality of radio devices in a frame of every layer, with one radio device corresponding to one article, where the server determines the position of the article shelf It is possible to determine the frame position based on, for example, the number of radio devices in the frame of each layer and the position of the radio device, and furthermore, the position of the article shelf can be obtained according to the frame position.

Accordingly, the server can draw the navigation map in accordance with the article position of each article and the position of the article display stand, so that the server can first draw the article display shelf, and then draw the article in the article display stand.

In yet another embodiment, the portable terminal may receive a wireless signal transmitted by the wireless device.

When arranging the articles in the indoor place, they usually leave the passage position, which may be specifically the position of the shelf passage between the goods shelves.

The position of the shelf passage can be determined by the position of the portable terminal when the portable terminal does not scan the code.

Thus, in an implementable manner,

The portable terminal can determine the location of the portable terminal, which is received when the portable terminal does not scan the code, according to the radio signal of the radio receiver received when the code is not scanned and the position of the portable terminal as the shelf channel position, Or may be for uploading the passage location to the server.

In yet another possible implementation,

The portable terminal also uploads a wireless signal of the wireless device received when the code is not scanned to the server; Determines the position of the portable terminal received when the portable terminal does not code-scan through the server, and the wireless signal of the received wireless device when the portable terminal does not code-scan according to the position of the wireless terminal, .

The server can generate a navigation map based on the article location and the shelf path location of each article.

Optionally, the server can generate a navigation map, specifically according to each article shelf location, article location of each article, and each shelf location passage location.

In the two possible implementations, determining the location of the portable terminal when the portable terminal did not code-scan, depending on the wireless signal of the received wireless device and the location of the wireless device when the portable terminal did not scan the code, May be obtained by calculating the signal strength of the radio signal of the radio device and the position of the radio device.

The distance between the portable terminal and the wireless device can be calculated based on the signal strength of the wireless device received by the portable terminal so that the position of the portable terminal of the portable terminal can be calculated by the distance between the portable terminal and the wireless device, .

Preferably, by using the mass centering algorithm, the code scan position of the portable terminal can be calculated by using the distance between the portable terminal and the wireless device and the position of the wireless device. At this time, the mobile terminal can receive the radio signals of a plurality of radio devices, and can receive radio signals of more than or equal to M + 1 according to the sequence from the largest to the lowest signal intensity by the spatial dimension number (M) Specifically, N may be equal to M + 1. The distance between the portable terminal and the N radio devices and the position of the N radio devices can be used to calculate the position of the portable terminal of the portable terminal by using the mass centering algorithm.

In the presently filed embodiment, the navigation map is generated in a three-dimensional coordinate space, which may be specifically a three-dimensional solid map.

The distance between the portable terminal and the wireless device can be calculated according to the following formula according to the signal intensity of the wireless signal of the wireless device received by the portable terminal,

Where R represents the signal strength; d represents the distance between the portable terminal and the wireless device; A represents the signal strength of the radio signal transmitted by the sending device, received by the receiving device when the distance is 1 meter; n represents an environmental attenuation factor.

In another embodiment, the distance between the portable terminal and the wireless device can be calculated according to the following formula according to the signal strength of the wireless signal of the wireless device received by the portable terminal,

Here, C may select an initial pre-set value, and in order to increase the calculation accuracy, the mobile terminal may select Q effective devices in the radio device corresponding to the received radio signal, where Q is greater than M + 1 Greater or equal, and specifically, Q may be equal to M + 1. The correction value of the converted proportional factor is adjusted by adjusting the numerical value of the converted proportional factor using the Q effective devices, and the correction value is obtained by using the position of each effective device as a reference, And the formed Q circles or spheres have a unique contact point. And then calculates the distance between the portable terminal and the wireless device by reusing the obtained correction value of the conversion factor.

Of course, the present embodiment is not limited to the above-described two possible implementations, and it is possible to use different implementations depending on the actual application situation. It is also possible to use the signal strength between the portable terminal and the wireless device, Lt; / RTI >

According to the distance between the portable terminal and the wireless device and the position of the wireless device, the position of the portable terminal when the portable terminal does not scan the code can be determined and obtained.

In practical applications, the indoor space will typically include several indoor passageways, such as stairs, elevators, firefighting passageways, and the like, which can be obtained from architectural schematics, By being able to determine navigation map boundaries;

Thus, the server specifically determines a navigation map boundary; In the navigation map boundary, a navigation map can be generated according to each article shelf position, the article position of each article, each shelf stand passage position and the indoor passage position.

Here, the position of the wireless device can be set in advance and can be obtained through calculation, which will be described in detail below.

As shown in Fig. 3, in another embodiment, a distinction from the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 is that, in the map generation system, the radio device includes a first type device 1031 and a second type device (1032), the location of the first-class device (1031) being already known; Here, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the number of first-class devices 1031 and the number of second-class devices 1032 are not limited to those shown in FIG.

The server 101 also uses the first type device 1031 and / or the determined second type device 1032 as a known device, and determines the position of the known device and any position received by the known device For determining the position of the second type of equipment (1032) in which one of the positions is undecided by the radio signal transmitted from the undecided class 2 device (1032); Determine the positions of the article shelves of the respective article shelves by the positions of the first and / or the second apparatuses (1031, 1032); The position of each article shelf, the position of articles of each article, and the position of each shelf channel, to generate a navigation map.

Here, the first-class device can upload the received wireless signal to the server; The second type device can upload the received wireless signal to the server.

Here, the first-class equipment can be disposed at a place where the indoor position is unchanged, the second-class equipment can be disposed at the goods display stand, and because the goods display stand can be moved, by the first- The position of the second-class instrument can be determined. Accordingly, the server can determine the positions of the article shelves of the respective article shelves, specifically by the position of the second type apparatus.

After both the first-class appliance and the second-class appliance are determined, the server can send the location of the first-class appliance and the location of the second-class appliance to the portable terminal, The portable terminal may send the position of the wireless device requested to be acquired to the portable terminal.

Accordingly, the portable terminal determines the position of the portable terminal, which is received when the portable terminal does not scan the code, according to the wireless signal of the wireless receiver received when the code is not scanned, and the position of the portable terminal, Uploading the shelf path location to the server is, in particular,

By the wireless signal of the first type of equipment and / or the second type of equipment received when the code is not scanned, and the position of the first type of equipment and / or the second type of equipment obtained from the server, The position of the portable terminal when the terminal has not scanned the code may be determined to be the position of the display stand passage, and the position of the display stand passage may be uploaded to the server.

Here, when a plurality of the first type devices are included, a plurality of first type devices are installed in the indoor preset area and are not located on the same plane. For example, it can be installed in a corner area of any one of the four corners of the room. In the case where the number of position coordinate spatial dimensions is M, it is necessary to ensure that the number of first-class devices is equal to or greater than M + 1, specifically, M + 1 first-class devices, Is able to simultaneously receive the signals sent by the M + 1 first-class devices, so that the positions of the second-class devices can be more accurately determined.

For example, when the position coordinates are three-dimensional coordinates, four of the first-type devices can be included, are installed at the same preset positions in the room, are not all located on the same plane and the same straight line, And the coordinates of the Z axis can be easily determined.

When the position coordinates are two-dimensional coordinates, three of the first type devices may be included.
